disable design view in Access

[tambadal]

I am trying to disable the design view so user cannot make any changes. Greatly appreciate if you can help or what other option I can do to protect my database from being modified. Thank you!

I've always thought that simplest is to re-save the db as an executable:

Important: Backup your database. The original .accdb file is needed so that YOU can make future changes. You will give the compiled .accde file to users.

Technically it's not an executable file. Those have .exe as their extension.
If you see it called an executable anywhere, that is incorrect. It is a compiled version of the accdb (or mdb) file.
